Merren - Tour Guide

Merren is an Aussie larrikin who has been living in Berlin since 2013. Having German grandparents, she wanted to get to know more about her heritage and was attracted to the vivacious, edgy, unassuming nature of the capital. She’s always up for a beer and is guaranteed to give you a stirring rendition of the Hof at the Brandenburg Gate.

“I think you’d be hard-pressed to find another city in the world with so many layers of history all meshed together and intertwined than right here in Berlin. Becoming a tour guide has been an incredibly rewarding way to connect with the history of Germany, and a great way to meet people from all over the globe!”

Merren's Berlin Tips

Favorite Tour:

The Day City Tour as it’s the best way to get an overview of Berlin’s multifaceted history – from the Prussians to the Russians, Third Reich to the 21st Century melting pot that is Berlin.

Favorite Site:

East Side Gallery. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve walked that stretch of Wall with a kebap in one hand, beer in the other, contemplating those painted representations of the Cold War division.

Insider Tip:

It’s a little off the beaten track, but head out to the former Stasi Prison out at Hohenschönhausen. It’ll give you very interesting insight into the workings of the GDR's political justice system.

Andrew - Tour Guide

Andrew is a Wisconsin boy who studied History at UW-Madison. He joined the Berlin family two years ago following a stint with the Fat Tire team in Paris, and he’s also been a guide in Prague. After first visiting us here in 2009 though, he knew he would just have to live in Berlin some day!

“I wish everyone could come to Berlin with time to explore the greenness around the city. This is a place surrounded by endless biking, hiking, camping and swimming opportunities. (Feel free to get a Fat Tire trekking bike to get you moving!)”

Andrew's Berlin Tips

Favorite Tour:

The Day City Tour – the ride through the lush Tiergarten and the beer garden stop will make your day!

Favorite Site:

Treptower Park and the Soviet War Memorial. This is one of the most impressive monuments you’ll see in Europe and it will blow your mind.

Insider Tip:

Sunday is the best day to be in the city as you get to go to the market at Mauer Park. It’s super fun and you can witness the best karaoke you’ll see in your life.

Marriette - Tour Guide

Marriette is a Berlin veteran originally from the Lake District in Northern England. Her planned three-month stay in Berlin after university started a decade ago and you will now find Marriette dividing her days amongst Segway tours, her sewing machine, finding vintage treasures at Berlin’s many flea markets and enjoying lively open air parties.

“Berlin is rough around the edges to say the least. It’s a living breathing entity and many a traveler have succumbed to its magnetic draw. The city pulls no punches; it’s very unapologetic, it’s raw, and it’s in a constant state of evolution.”

Marriette's Berlin Tips

Favorite Tour:

The Cold War Tour because you get to go into the coolest part of the city and see it in a historical sense rather than just for its bar and restaurant vibe.

Favorite Site:

Oberbaumbrücke as it has an amazing history dating back to the 1700’s and today connects the two most vibrant neighborhoods of Berlin.

Insider Tip:

Get down to Görlitzer Park in the summer – such a great place for a picnic, prosecco and people watching!
